What to expect
You'll start in Vitoria-Gasteiz, wandering cobbled lanes and plazas that reveal the city's Renaissance character. The pintxo experience puts you alongside locals at standing bars—you'll order bite-sized snacks paired with drinks, a proper Basque ritual rather than a packaged tasting. Then drive inland to Añana, where ochre-coloured salt evaporation ponds stretch across a valley. This is a working heritage site, not a museum; you'll see salt farmers tending their plots much as they have for centuries. Expect some walking on uneven ground at the salt valley.
